Andvari is back — though not as a dwarf guarding a magic ring this time, but as a rather clever fisherman, now accompanied by his golden fish. In this instalment by Foxium, the mythological tale takes a gentler turn. Forget Odin and thunderbolts — this one prefers bubbles and boats. Andvari the Golden Fish builds on the Andvari: The Magic Ring slot, but instead of focusing on shapeshifting trinkets, the spotlight here is firmly on bubbling jackpots and expanding reels.
Played on a 5x4 layout with 40 paylines, this slot introduces a more linear format compared to its predecessor’s 1024 ways. You’ll find base game coin collection mechanics tied to reel-specific wilds, and the action ramps up with a pair of bonus features — one focused on jackpots, the other on wilds and multipliers. The minimum bet sits at 0.20, making it accessible to most players.
Foxium has dabbled in Norse lore before, but rarely with this much charm. Visually, the slot is as polished as expected — glimmering waters, enchanted coins, and a quirky dwarf in a boat who seems quite pleased with his fishy fortunes. Other titles from the studio, like Stumpy McDoodles 2 and Boom Pirates, share that same light-hearted flair and well-paced gameplay.

There’s a clear divide between the card rank symbols and the thematic ones here. The former fills the lower end of the paytable, while the latter includes runes, rings, potions, and more potentially lucrative iconography. The symbols and their potential payouts are broken down below:
Symbol | Payout for 3, 4, and 5 of a Kind |
10 | 0.20x, 1x, 2x |
J | 0.20x, 1x, 2x |
Q | 0.40x, 1.60x, 3x |
K | 0.40x, 1.60x, 3x |
A | 0.40x, 2x, 4x |
Anchor | 0.6x, 3x, 6x |
Scroll | 0.6x, 3x, 6x |
Tree Log | 0.6x, 3x, 6x |
Potion | 0.80x, 4x, 10x |
Magic Ring | 1x, 5x, 20x |
Andvari (Wild) | 1x, 5x, 20x |
The Wild symbol (Andvari himself) substitutes for all standard symbols and is also the highest-paying regular icon. Scatter chests trigger the free spins, and golden coins serve to fill meters above the reels. Once full, they activate wild reels for the next four spins. Golden fish bubbles can trigger the jackpot feature known as Bubble Bang.
Above each reel is a coin meter with four slots. Each coin symbol that lands fills one slot on its respective reel’s meter. When a reel’s meter is full, that reel turns fully wild for the next four spins. These wild reels could help form more frequent line wins and often serve as setup for the bigger features that follow.
Triggered by landing three chest scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4, this round begins with 12 free spins. What makes it interesting is that any wild reels you’ve already unlocked remain active for the duration. Before the round starts, you also get a spin on a multiplier wheel offering a starting multiplier between 2x and 10x. This multiplier applies to all wins during the free spins.
There's also a Boost Meter that fills during the base game. Once full, any future scatters are upgraded to "Boosted" versions, which guarantee a minimum of two wild reels when you enter the bonus.
This feature can trigger randomly whenever a golden fish bubble lands on the reels. When it happens, you’re taken to a pick-and-win screen to pop bubbles for jackpot prizes. The values are:
You’ll only ever trigger one jackpot at a time, but given the 5,000x ceiling, it’s not a bad one to hit.
If you're into Norse mythology but prefer a lighter approach than hammer-wielding gods and apocalyptic battles, Andvari the Golden Fish provides that charming detour. You might also enjoy Golden Fish Tank Party or 3 Tiny Gods Bonanza — both available at BetVictor and both with similarly imaginative themes and layered bonus features.
